XI. The imputed change impossible
What they say is — that these public men with whom
I agree do not wish for reform, and that we do wish for
an subversion of the right of property.
What I in my defence say is that we on our part do wish
for reform and we do not wish for subversion <del.,/del> nor
for any invasion of the rights of property and
think they as to them they do not believe as to have any such
work as that which they do attribute to us and that
accordingly it is not for any such purpose as the
the subversion of property that they are destroying subverting our
liberties and our security, but for the purpose of preventing
reform from taking place, and so preserving against
all remedy that system of abuse by which they profit
that system of tyranny oppression and depredation which they are excusing

Governments
(c): Hardy p.194 Ao 1778. The Volunteer army of Ireland is
"indebted for its formation to a letter of Sir Richard Herons, then
"managing secretary) . . . Belfast . . . . applied to Government for
"protection against the common enemy, who then manacled it with
"peculiar danger. Sir Richard Heron's answer was plain and candid.
"Government could afford it none. . . Government was as
"to national defence abdicated and the people left to take car of
"themselves. But if thus abandoned, their spirit soon supplied the defects
"and imbecility of administration . . p.197. Government
"stood astounded. With unavailing regret it now beheld the effects
"of its own immediate work indeed; but to look more retrospectively,
"the work of its predecessors and of England. To disunite or
"the volunteers was beyond their power, though the several object of
"their wishes. It was proposed to some of their officers to get commissions
"from the Crown, or take them out for forms sake merely — p. 196
"At that very moment was a noble English army captive in America. So
"strongly forgetful are some intemperate politicians of the most alarming
"events, even of yesterday, and so unable or so resolutely determined
"are they to draw no beneficial inference from them whatever. The
"volunteers were at last no longer teased nor tormented. Those who were
"most attached to administration fell into their rank as well as its
"opponents."
